When and Where To Get Your Car Serviced

Posted November 1, 2009 in Car Maintenance by Melissa Pye

When should I get my car serviced?

It is necessary to service your vehicle to keep it in a safe, efficient running condition. Service intervals will vary depending on your car and can be found in your service manual. If your car doesn't have one, it is recommended to get your vehicle serviced every 12 months or when it has travelled 15,000km. In severe conditions your car will need more frequent servicing. (Cold weather and frequent short trips constitutes severe conditions because the car's engine rarely reaches its normal operating temperature).

Where should I get my car serviced?

You can get your vehicle serviced at either a manufacturer dealership or at other service centres.

Tips:

  • Insist on a quote before the work starts

  • Insist a service adviser contacts you if there are any additional requirements before they rectify it

  • Ensure your preferred workshop is correctly licensed

  • Ensure genuine or approved replacement parts are used
